The Fish, Fishing rod and Fishing for Compliment

A Disciple approached an old monk with a doubt, He asked the following question “What is wrong in showcasing my ability?"
The Monk said "Right or wrong depends upon who and why it is Showcased"
The Disciple said "I published my work in my company's Communication portal, for which few of them appreciated it but, one of my colleagues, personally sent a message which stated that "Don't fish for compliments"
The Monk asked "After reading the message, how did you feel?"
The Disciple replied "I felt bad"
The Monk said " The happiness that came from few people's appreciation did not last but one negative remark has put you down"

In life, we don't count our blessings, but we keep multiplying our unhappiness mentally by worrying about few negatives that we encounter.

Let me ask you few questions
Would you like to ask for a fish or a fishing rod?
The Disciple said " I would ask for a fishing rod"
The Monk asked "Would you like to build your fishing rod or will you ask for a fishing rod?"
The Disciple said "I would like to build my fishing rod"
The Monk asked " aren't the abilities you showcased, is your own fishing rod?"
The Disciple said "Yes"
The Monk said, it is better to prove your ability, than to accept the fish or seek a Fishing rod.
In this competitive world your presence should be felt and your ability should be experienced.
It is better to go with a fishing rod in the hand than a bowl.
If the pond is not lucrative, there is no point in changing the fishing rod, change the pond

Listen, Understand and Respond

  Listen, Understand and Respond Most of the time, people listen to respond rather than to understand. By the time the other person finishes speaking, the listener is often already formulating a response. Let’s explore what happens in such situations. While listening, we may be trying to engage our logical brain to recall our memories and creativity for a response, or we may be accessing our emotional brain to defend ourselves against what is being said. For example, if one person talks about ways another could improve, the listener might offer excuses such as a lack of time, resources, or support. Alternatively, they may bring up personal emotions, like health or family issues. These reactions often occur while the other person is still speaking, leading to a decreased understanding and an increased eagerness to defend one’s position. During this type of conversation, the listener may appear restless, exhibiting a lack of eye contact or head nodding. In such interactions, th...
